96 Vaughan Springs Road

Scandinavian cool; in strawbale. This impressive, architecturally designed property is the perfect eco-sustainable home, hidden from sight but with country views; a rural feel yet within the township. Set on a 2000m2 block, enter the home and step into a cleverly designed & finished home, where everything has been carefully considered. Coloured concrete floors throughout, well insulated, north-facing, wide eves, inbuilt thermal mass, repurposed building materials, timber interiors and all assembled by an artisan. The kitchen/dining room is open plan, flooded with light and has bi-folding doors to the timber deck with pergola, there are an integrated fridge/freezer & dishwasher, long benchtops, and masses of hidden storage spaces. The spacious living room connects to the kitchen and has a wood burner by a recycled brick wall – all that's required to heat this amazing home, and cooled by ceiling fans. There are two bedrooms, both with built-in robes, and upstairs are two mezzanines that could double up as a bedroom or storage. The central bathroom has step-in shower, bath with garden views and the separate loo is near the front door. The massively thick walls mean there are window seats in several locations, lots of finishes are in timber, with great attention to minimalist style and creating an aura of careful living. Outside there's a double garage/lock up shed, on a slab with power and water, native gardens and lawns around the home providing ample privacy and space to run around. Power and water are connected, is in the Township Zone and a 10 minute drive to Castlemaine, closer to Campbells Creek & Guildford. This is an eco, modern home that's a perfect offering for those escaping the city, a weekender or looking for a change.
